PROCEDURE

Remove the generator frame

1.Turn off Engine.

2.Perform the Alternator Rotor Removal Procedure.

3.Perform the Alternator Stator Removal

Procedure.

4.Disconnect all of the wires and cables that connect to the stator/frame assembly. Carefully mark them for reassembly.

5.Remove the mounting bolts from the generator feet.

6.Using a hoist and sling, very carefully lift the gener- ator only enough so the generator frame will clear the welder frame and can be removed. The sling should be positioned near the center of the genera- tor frame.

Carefully watch the clearance between the engine and any other components while hoisting, especially the clearance between the engine fan, the fan shroud, and radiator. Loosen or remove the radiator if necessary.

7.Support the engine at the generator adapter plate end.

8.With the generator frame still supported by the sling, (Be certain the sling is positioned at the cen- ter of gravity of the generator frame.) and the weight of the engine resting on the supports that were placed in the previous step, remove the screws securing the generator frame to the engine adapter plate.

9.Carefully pry and wiggle the generator frame to free it from the adapter plate, and then slide the genera- tor frame off of the armature. Adjust the height of the stator frame as needed to assure that it can slide off the armature without damage to any of the armature or stator windings.

Replacing the Generator Frame

1.During reassembly, anti-seize compound should be applied to the screw threads.

2.Carefully inspect the mating surfaces of the engine adapter plate and the generator frame. The mating surfaces must be clean and undamaged.

3.Lift the generator frame with the rope sling and very carefully slide it over the armature. Be very careful that the armature and stator windings are not dam- aged.

4.Align the bolt holes and install the screws that had been removed earlier. Carefully and evenly tighten them, making sure that the mating surfaces come together cleanly all the way around. Tighten the screws; see the torque specification page for cor- rect torque values.

5.Remove the supports from the engine and carefully lower the generator frame. Install the rubber mounts.

6.Reverse the removal procedure to reassemble the machine. Be sure to secure all cables, and wires. Replace all cable ties that had been removed dur- ing disassembly.

7.Perform the Alternator Stator Replacement Procedure.
